Dichroic Glass At SickKids Hospital

Dichroic Glass and Custom Printed Frit

This project is a truly one-of-a-kind decorative glass marvel designed for the SickKids hospital in Toronto.  The aesthetics and emphasis are to spread daylight through the area, and these glass panels deliver.

At over 4′ x 16′ these pieces are immense and include two (2) pieces of Pilkington OptiWhite low iron glass, which has been tempered and merged with a PVB interlayer for the major interior components.  The same makeup was also used but switched to Kuraray SentryGlas and a stunning blue digital frit to deliver on the structural glass components.

Covering the Tower With Performance Curtain Wall

Custom digital ceramic frit is applied to the glass in certain instances to create a smooth transition from interior elements such as white floors and walls to the eye-popping dichroic effect.

Redspire Architectural Glass expertly applied the dichroic film on-site and performed the final installation.
